Active clinical trials for "Hematologic Neoplasms"

The goal of this observational study is to compare the incidence of relapse in G-CSF/ATG based and PT-Cy based haploidentical transplantation] in [patients aged 18 to 55 years with a diagnosis of hematological malignancies who unmanipulated haplo-HSCT with myeloablative conditioning]. The main question it aims to answer are: Primary objective: To compare the incidence of relapse in G-CSF/ATG based and PT-Cy based haploidentical transplantation and illustrate the possible immune mechanism. Secondary objectives: To compare CMV infection, GVHD and survival outcomes, and to observe the dynamic immune reconstitution of G-CSF/ATG based or PT-Cy based model. Exploratory objectives: To compare the long-term quality of life among recipients who receive G-CSF/ATG based or PT-Cy based protocol.

The purpose of this study is to understand the breadth of molecular characteristics present in participants cared for in a large integrated, community-based health care system. Using comprehensive genomic profiling and proteomics, the investigators seek to identify the underlying genomic drivers of premalignant or malignant conditions in participants across different stages of disease development and cancer types. Comprehensive molecular profiling will consist of somatic tumor testing (tissue and/or blood) using whole exome sequencing, whole transcriptome sequencing, proteomics, and selected instances of whole genome sequencing. In addition, the investigators seek to perform broad hereditary cancer testing in affected participant populations. Hereditary testing has implications in screening, prognosis, and therapeutics for affected participants, as well as broad implications for genetic counseling and cascade testing. In order to maximize the value of genomic information, participants consented to this protocol will have their electronic health records (both retrospectively and prospectively) abstracted, curated, annotated and linked to genomic information obtained though the testing performed. Given the long-term value of this data, participants will also be asked to voluntarily consent to have their samples stored in a biobank and have their de-identified information used for future research. Information collected across this participant population will aid in advancing the investigators' knowledge of cancer biology, to discover and validate biomarkers associated with clinical outcomes, and shared in collaborative projects in order to promote the study of cancer.

To collect and analyze specimens that will correlate with clinical outcomes such as acute and late toxicities, quality of life, local control, and survival of patients treated with photon/proton therapy.

This registry study is intended to establish a large prospective longitudinal clinical cohort of lymphoma patients in Malawi, as such data is currently lacking from sub-Saharan Africa. The investigators will perform core biopsies on at least 800 consecutively enrolled patients with suspected lymphoma for accurate histopathologic characterization. The investigators will systematically collect relevant clinical and laboratory data, and longitudinally follow those with confirmed hematologic malignancies receiving treatment according to local standards of care to assess outcomes.

Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) associated with hematologic malignancies (HM-HLH) is a syndrome with an abysmal prognosis (10-30% 5 years overall survival). We have recently established an improved diagnostic and prognostic index for HM-HLH, termed the Optimized HLH Inflammatory (OHI) index. The OHI index is comprised of the combined elevation of soluble CD25 (sCD25) > 3,900 U/mL and ferritin >1,000 ng/mL . However, the true incidence and outcomes of HLH/OHI+ in an unselected cohort are unknown and so is the mechanism of HM-HLH.

The Cologne Cohort of Neutropenic Patients (CoCoNut) is a non-interventional cohort study assessing risk factors, interventions, and outcome of immunosuppressed patients with or without opportunistic infections.

Despite anti-thymocyte globulin has a mainstay role in preventing GvHD (and non-relapse mortality) in CB transplantation, it also induces delayed immune recovery, increased risk of cytomegalovirus and Epstein-Barr virus reactivation, post-transplant lymphoproliferative diseases, overall accounting for increased transplant-related mortality and/or increased relapse incidence. All these findings support the use of alternative approaches for in vivo T cell depletion in the setting of CB transplantation.

Follow-up of patients> 70 years old with cancer pathologies to evaluate the influence of geriatric factors associated with a review of therapies on their care pathways and health conditions. We will be particularly interested in the main objective, the unplanned hospitalization rate at 3 months in patients> 70 years old with cancer treated in oncogeriatric HDJ before the initiation of oncological treatment such as chemotherapy (oral or intravenous) and / or targeted therapy and / or immunotherapy and / or new generation hormone therapy.

This is a national multicenter prospective observational study led by the GIMEMA. The GIMEMA-ALLIANCE Platform is also an online monitoring system for patients with hematologic malignancies aiming at helping hematologists in the early recognition and timely management of problems of their patients. Based on patient's rating of specific items (i.e. on the presence of clinically relevant problems or problems with adherence to therapy or risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection), the Platform will automatically send alerts to the treating hematologist (and/or appointed members of the local Team). Physicians will be free to make any action they feel appropriate for the best care of their patients.

The objective of this project is to compare chemosensitivity between chemotherapy combinations in bone marrow aspirates using 3D organoid models. The investigators overarching hypothesis is that 3D organoids are ideal to test chemosensitivity in real time, to provide personalized medicine and guidance in the setting of relapsed hematologic malignancy and potentially other cancers.
